Focus on Life - Week 23: From Where I Stand

 
 
For week 32 of the
Focus on Life: 52 Photos Challenge,
Sally over at The Studio Sublime
prompted us with,

"From Where I Stand"
 
 
 
 
 
I regularly like to walk barefoot in our grass. 
 
Feeling the earth beneath my feet is both energizing and grounding at the same time for me.
 
I talk to God/The Universe and meditate a bit.

Taking in the earth, the smells, the feelings, the sounds.

Focusing on gratitude and life at that moment.
 
I'm so grateful to have what I do and be where I am (despite the 100+ temps in the summer).
 
 Earlier this week after a bit of rain, I stepped out and took some deep breaths and looked down.


 
 
This is where I stand!
 
 
Sally's  having a bit of a problem with her blog this week so her post might not be up for a bit, but here's where everyone else stands - go check 'em out!
 
 
Until Next Time,
 
Peace, Love and Standing Grounded!
 
Cheers,
~Shel~

    I love being outside, but don't do it barefooted unless I am at the beach! my yard has a tendency to grow sand spurs where you can't see them...but I do agree it is great to get out and enjoy this wonderful earth that God has given us! Thanks for the post.

    Such beautiful green grass. We haven't seen green in a bit here as we've had no rain. The goats have been crunching rather than chewing :)

    Hi Shel, I agree about going barefoot although it's definitely a bit trickier here in AZ. Looks like you found the perfect place to be bare-footin! The temps were actually pretty amazing this week.....
